CONCLUSION
28 Joan Foretells Her Doom
THE TROOPS must have a rest. Two days would be allowed for this. The morning of the 14th I was writing from Joanβs dictation in a small room which she sometimes used as a private office when she wanted to get away from officials and their interruptions. Catherine Boucher came in and sat down and said:
βJoan, dear, I want you to talk to me.β
βIndeed, I am not sorry for that, but glad. What is in your mind?β
βThis. I scarcely slept last night, for thinking of the dangers you are running. The Paladin told me how you made the duke stand out of the way when the cannon-balls were flying all about, and so saved his life.β
βWell, that was right, wasnβt it?β
